Hicks Wins Right To Seek Damages

Mr Hicks believes he was the victim of an "epic swindle" when Liverpool was sold against his wishes to New England Sports Ventures (NESV) for £300m.

He and his former partner George Gillett have been seeking to make a claim against their creditor RBS following the takeover.

The sale went ahead in October after a High Court judge ruled that Tom Hicks could not take action in the Texas courts to halt the deal.

Mr Hicks applied to the same judge last week to lift the anti-suit orders.

That application was dismissed, meaning the businessman is still banned from launching damages claims in the US.

But Mr Justice Floyd changed the injunction to allow Mr Hicks to make applications in the US in support of any UK action if he gives seven days notice to the parties he is suing.

when will he learn that he is not going to win and give up, go home and suck on his thumb. the Texas judge realised that he ahd no place over turning a superior court with his decision. no sonner did he see the court papers from the High Court than he back tracked and gave Hicks/Gillette a spanking.
